Publisher's Point

POSTED:Fri, January 2, 2009 @ 12:07PM

Sorry, no response

The Art Linkletter show had a song that went “letters, we get lots and lots of letters.” Well I do too, but would have to change the words to “e-mails, I get lots and lots of e-mails”, with a chorus of “and they are all from Ms. Or Mrs. Anonymous.” It is, at times, quite frustrating, to not know the identity of the person who is an expert on everything, especially how a newspaper should operate and can so comfortably hide behind their cloak of cute (and not so cute) made up id’s. I do not answer letters or e-mails that the author is not identified. Even though my instinct to react is sometimes hard to stop. If on this blog, by phone or legitimate e-mails or letters you have an intelligent questions or observations I will be very happy to give my best response. So, people like Mr., Ms. Or Mrs. Discobulous will never know who my dentist is or if the lake level would have actually gone up if I jumped in and I will never know why you have a personal vendetta against this newspaper or me. Now for those who do have a question about this newspaper, who really want an answer and not just to bash, please do so.

Ms. Publisher: I apologize again: you certainly didn't deserve to be confused with my mother-in-law (or any of them, for that matter).

OK, I will break my rules of not responding and throw out any offense that may have been taken. Just a point of information, I am the Publisher of The Leader-Herald. Tim Fonda is our Managing Editor. See correct information can be gotten.

Wow! No offense was intended. I think it promotes confidence in the newspaper knowing who's in charge of the edior's teeth. Also, in these times of economic stress, those teeth stand out as a shining example of light in a darkening economic climate. As far as the lake comment goes, I apologize for confusing you with my mother-in-law.
